Hi
I need some help please.
Just finsihed my swap 88tbird turbo in 88 stang lx. GOT IT STARTED! I am really happy. Awesome engine.....
But when it is running, two things happen.
1. Tranny fluid is pouring out of the bell housing area. There did not seem to be a drain plug in the torque converter when I had the engine out - there was just a hole but I am not sure if there should be a plug or not. Unfortunately I worked with a friend and he took the torque converter out when it was not necessary to do so. Is there supposed to be a drain plug on the torque converter- could I be missing a plug? He said that he did not see one when he took it out. Could it be that the torque converter is not set into the tranny far enough?
I am not sure where the fluid is really coming from exactly but I do know it is coming out of the torque converter cover area. Lost about a quart in a minute run time.
2. Also, Once a second or so, it sounds like there is a relay clicking under the dash (drivers side). It clicks four or five times, stops for a second, than another series of 4 or 5 clicks. Engine runs great though.
